Excellent; since you're concerned about it, it should be quite easy to provide that evidence, right? Personally, I would settle for quotes with private information redacted (usually I'd ask for archive.org copies or such, but in the case of doxxing I agree that's not ideal).

No. The post alludes to active investigations concerning, among other things, bomb threats. One doesn’t air evidence in that situation.

If I'm investigating you over a bomb threat I'm not going to tell you beforehand so you erase any evidence.

People have already found and reposted the bomb threat posts, so that argument makes zero sense.

Why national security of course.

That's fair, actually; if that is the case then I very much hope to see a post in the near future explaining what happened as soon as it's no longer an active matter for the police.
